“Where’s everybody?” This is a sight seldom seen by Hobart students. 
The empty halls exist because classes are in session. 




“Do I have time to stop at my locker?” This is 
one of the important questions going through the 
minds of these students as they make their way up 
and down the crowded stairway. 



“May I help you?” asks Diane Pflughoeft as a group of students 
line up for service at the school store.

The snack bar is the center of attention at noontime. It 
offers conversation as well as “snacks.” 



Reminiscing — these boys are as they recall the memories of 
Hobart High during a leisurely noon hour.

“Dancing in the lobby.” This is a favorite activity of the 
girls and a few scarce boys. 



The lobby is equipped with a juke box, snack bar, and 
lounge chairs for the tired boys. 



Here the enthusiasm of the student body is tremendous as With the location of the new school many students ride the 

they eagerly watch the outcome of a basketball play. bus to and from school. Here is just a small portion of our 

bus-riding students.

Introducing Linda Mills, yearbook Queen, center, 
your choice this year to represent the Yearbook at 
the Signature party. After being chosen as a candi- 
date along with Carole Vygrala, Peggy Louis, and 
Linda Quinlan by the senior yearbook members she 



was voted in through elections made by those pur- 
chasing yearbooks. The idea of a Queen was con- 
ceived as a publicity stunt to help increase sales dur- 
ing the trying days of the strike. However, the 
choosing of a Queen may become a tradition.

“Broom Pushers” is the title given 
Bill Lister, Jim Marler, and Karen 
Voyles as they busily clean the 
messy halls left by their respective 
classes during KHHSCAFOLW. 



The library is a great help to all the 
students whether used as a place for 
study or reference. These students await 
its opening at noontime. 



It’s chow-down time over the noon 
hour for these students, left to

Floyd Hardy, Jim Grudzinski, Dan- 
ny Stowers, and Dave Zeller. They

ticipation of further noontime ac- 
tivity. 



GO, TEAM, GO! Mr. Kurth, Ath-

encouragement to the cheerleaders

These students are waiting the ring

“Sleeping on the job again.” This boy 
was caught napping along with several 
students who were temporarily dis- 
tracted from their school books.

A responsibility held — a responsibility met 
— yes, by the administration which frequently 
in the eyes of the student body falls far short 
of expectations. Did you ever think of all the 
laws governing the running of a school, of 
all the approval and permission that has to 
be obtained before policy can become a 
reality. 

Yes, it is with a deep sense of responsi- 
bility that the administration and faculty 
serve the school. Hours of time are put in 
by the administration in raising standards 
and in keeping the school up to the require- 
ments set by the North Central association. 

The teacher plans lessons, attends meetings, 



goes to summer school and continually reads 
the “latest” bulletin in order to keep abreast 
of his subject. He has studied and studied 
hard before he can communicate to you. And 
he spends hours in communicating and then 
hours in grading the effectiveness of that 
communication. 

But of course you as a student must also 
put forth effort. The administration plans 
testing programs, sets standards, plans cur- 
riculum and continually surveys his and 
other schools — always with the intent to 
make the school better. Yes, we proudly 
credit them in the following pages.

Dear Seniors: 

Do you remember the day you first entered school? 
Perhaps your mother accompanied you to make certain 
you arrived properly and found the correct room and 
teacher. Then for weeks you squirmed and twisted and 
found it so difficult to keep seated. 

Time passed. Gradually you became acquainted with 
the strangeness, learned to like and play with your school- 
mates, and loved your teachers. There were lessons, 
crayons, paste, words to spell, new thrills evecy week. 
You climbed in knowledge and eventually reached junior 
high school. 

Again, a strange new world presented itself. You met 
many new faces. You left the friendly, comfortable situ- 
ation of a single room, having only one teacher. Now 
you had four, five, or six teachers. Subjects were dif- 
ferent and more difficult. Grading was different. If you 
were a boy you found yourself full of energy, running, 
scuffling, jumping, pushing, wrestling. If you were a 
girl you found yourself becoming interested in older 
things — your first date, lipstick, dancing. 

After these turbulent years, you became a high school 
student. Lessons became more demanding, new fields of 
study opened before you, credits, football, cheerleading, 
clubs, honor grades, class spirit took your attention. 
Later you began to acquire a sense of pride in your 
approaching success. Colleges began to loom in your 
thinking. Jobs, marriage, future ... all passed through 
your thoughts. 

Finally the great goal is within view. Rehearsals. 
Final meetings. Bills. Worry! Happiness! Pleasure! Joy! 
All are emotions experienced during the final days. 

Then at last! 

May 31, 1960 

Congratulations and best wishes for an abundance of 
success and happiness. We hope we have contributed in 
making them possible. 






Seniors: 

“So many worlds, so much to do 
So little done, such things 
to be.” 



This theme, expressing so well the tempo of our times, 
should lead you to consider serious things, impell you to 
set greater goals, and challenge you to accept a role of 
leadership in tomorrow’s world. 

You have the tools with which to build a new and 
better world. You have the intellect and the character. 
You must then have the zeal to use these tools to build 
the world of which you dream. The courage to work, to 
sacrifice, to render service, to make the right decisions. 
You will not “drift along” into a world of beauty and 
peace. 

Drifting is only downstream, of course, and in that 
direction you will not find success as an individual or 
as a world. Do not “drift along,” choose the “High 
Road” in the poem: 

“To every man there openeth 
A way, ways, and a way ; 

And the high soul climbs the high way 
And the low soul gropes the low. 

And in between on the misty flats. 

The rest drift to and fro. 

But to every man there openeth 
A high way and a low. 

And every man decideth 
Which way his soul shall go.” 









Mr. Marion Bailey 

Ball State B.S., Purdue M.S. 




Are you off the beaten path? Derailed from the 
track of time? If so, the man to see is Mr. Marion 
Bailey, our understanding, good-humored, and well- 
liked guidance director. Often when Mr. Bailey is 
assisting slow students in Algebra class, he is heard 
saying, “It’s easy, just like shooting fish in a rain 
barrel!” Speaking of fishing, Mr. Bailey gladly 
admits spending much of his time enjoying this 
sport. 



Mrs. Flora Cox

A world-wide traveler, Mrs. Flora Cox, Dean of 
Girls, teacher of U.S. History, and sponsor of 
Debuteens, has visited England, France, Belgium, 
Holland, and Scotland. Getting eight hours of 
sleep, she feels, would help to make more successful 
school teachers. Much of Mrs. Cox’s free time is 
spent in her loved rose garden and her pet peeve 
is gum chewers. Girls, are you guilty? 





Mr. Russell Deal 
Indiana B.S., M.S. 



Traveling with his family and fishing are summer- 
time hobbies of Mr. Russell Deal, Dean of Boys and 
coach of our winning football team. A diamond and 
ruby football presented him when Indiana won the 
big 10 championship heads his list of prized football 
honors. Understanding the value of an education, he 
feels, is necessary if students expect to get the most 
out of their high school career!

You are in school again, not just to drift through, but to put your mind on 
school activities and make a success of your school life. As you drift through these 
pages you will see recorded many of the phases of your academic life. 

The students are working on various projects, some of which have consumed 
hours of time. Now these projects are immortalized in print, but in order to be 
successful your life of work has just begun. 

As you scan your books and commit works to memory, remember that it is all 
for a good cause. You are not just drifting through; you are planning and doing 
for your important future.

ACADEMIC 






“Where’s the motor?” During 
Driver’s Training Mr. Deal shows 
Tom Hanks, Peggy Farrell, and 
Donna Mathis the different parts of 
a car. Driver’s Training usually 
lasts two weeks. During this time, 
the students drive in the country, 
through suburban areas, and in city 
traffic. 




Putting Hobart High’s fine library 
into use is Barbara Richardson who 
is checking out a book from assist- 
ant librarian. Marge Dujmovich. 
This year the library is open for 
students in the mornings, at noon, 
and after school until four.

Why should we study government? This is a 
question asked by many students when confronted 
with this compulsory subject. 

Government is a factual and necessary subject 
since students as future voters are going to take an 
active part in their government, just as their 
parents have done before them. 

World history is studied because students need an 
understanding of world problems and so that we 
can avert some of the past difficulties suffered both 
by our nation and other countries. 

U.S. History is studied to make us appreciate what 
we have now and to help us understand what our 
forefathers died for. We learn from their mistakes 
and in so doing create a better nation for mankind 
in which to live. 



Speaker of the House, Paul Krause, directs the 
chants of ayes or nays on the issue, “Should teachers 
over 60 be allowed to teach?” during a session of 
congress. 






Studying this globe in the library for Mr. Rhodes’ World History class is 
just one of the many projects performed by the students. Here Tim Deu- 
berry, Richard Ondrovich, and Sharon Luby note the location of European 
countries. 



Bob Schafer points out to Maiy Plummer how different regions of the 
United States looked in 1821. Over 100 years later we are a nation of 50 
states, and also one of the world’s leading strongholds against Communist 
conquest.

Working on Yohan are these art students, bottom 
row: Rick Baron and Pat McClaran, top row: Chuck 
Donaldson and Jim Henley. Yohan, also pictured 
below as the finished product, has been placed in 
the student lounge. He stands over seven feet tall 
and is made out of sawdust, paste, papier mache, 
poster paint, and shellac. 

The purpose of taking a basic art course is to make 
people more aware of art in everyday surroundings. 
Art is all around us. It is contained in nature; it 
is a part of our life. Just as it is important to select 
proper foods and to preserve our national resources, 
so art is important to make our life more meaningful. 

First year art teaches the general principles of art. 
Second year art includes industrial art, commercial 
art, and crafts. Advanced work in sculpturing and 
oil painting is handled third year. The students also 
recopy great paintings in an effort to improve their 
own technique. 



Suzanne Sable, Pat Van Loon and Bob Welch are showing puppets made from papier mache and wood during 3rd hour 
art class. The puppets portray a Western series on television.

Karen Kjelstrom is pointing out to Jack 
Riechert the correct notes that are to be 
played from this rendition composed in 
music theory class for music majors. 



Music theory class is a selective organiza- 
tion composed of music-minded students who 
have majored in music and are planning a 
career in that field. 

The object of the course is to give the 
student a firm foundation in music funda- 
mentals, to develop oral perception by means 
of melodic and harmonic dictation, and to 
gain the ability to do four part harmoniza- 
tions of choral melodies. 

This class is taught every other year by 
one of the music directors. The final project 
of the year is to compose an original four 
part choral that is judged by the instructor. 





A mixed clarinet quartet is practicing 
for a special piece in the band. Dennis 
Spero is playing bass clarinet, Sharon 
Templeton plays the alto clarinet, and 
Pat Selzer and Bob Hodsden are rehears- 
ing on the clarinets. 

The band is a selective organization 
for students interested in instrumental 
music. Prospective members must pass 
a tryout which is composed of memoriz- 
ing various scales, sight reading and also 
memorizing a solo. They play various 
pieces of music which are judged by the 
band director, Mr. Webb, and the band 
officers, who decide whether the prospect 
is capable of playing with the group. 

All members must pass this tryout be- 
fore they go on tour. Among the band’s 
activities during the year are playing in 
concerts, participating in contests, and 
going on the annual spring tour. 



The “Counts” are really singing up a storm! 
Bob Walk, Jim Snodgrass, Ron Sowinski, 
and Daryle Teague compose this quartet 
taken from the A Cappella class. 

A Cappella Choir is another selective or- 
ganization for talented vocal students. Try- 
outs for this group are held each spring 
and are judged by Mr. Benson, the director, 
aided by the choir officers. To acquaint 
the high school students with the qualities 
of fine choral music is the primary objec- 
tive of this group. It also gives musically- 
minded students an opportunity to perform 
together before the public. 

Activities of the A Cappella this year in- 
cluded the Christmas Vespers, Music for 
Christmas, Music Festival, and the hit 
Broadway musical, Brigadoon.

“I now pronounce you man and wife” announces Ron Gott dur- 
ing this skit performed for Mr. Trammel’s Sociology class. Ron, 
playing the part of the judge, marries Sue Findley and Mike 



Miscko while Nancy Bycroft and Bob Bergeson serve as wit- 
nesses. The purpose in conducting the ceremony was to teach 
the students civil law.

The Hobart Senior High School English De- 
partment offers courses in grammar and com- 
position and courses in literature each of which 
are a semester long. 

The grammar and composition course teaches 
the student the basic rules pertinent to correct 
and effective use of spoken and written lan- 
guage and gives him practice in its use. 

The ultimate goal of composition is to enable 
one to write a well organized theme free of 
mechanical errors by the time he graduates 
from high school. 

English and American literature are taught 
to acquaint the student with the best that has 
been written by American and English authors 
and to help him trace, through the reading, the 
development of attitudes toward man, nature, 
and God which are our heritage. 

English Literature embraces twelve centuries 
of prose and poetry, but American Literature 
covers only three hundred years. 

In advanced composition, the student learns 
how to collect and incorporate ideas into gram- 
matically correct and interesting themes. The 
majority of the themes are written in class, so 
as to acquaint the student with college practices. 




“Welcome to the Jack Paar show.” Jane Wesley as Hugh Downs seems to be 
enjoying Susan Anthony’s portrayal of Charlie Weaver reading his letter from 
Mamma. Also present are Dottie Goulden as Genevieve, Mitch Blunden as 
Jack Paar, and Bob Smith as a relative of Jose Mellis. 



English — The Core Of Our Present Day Culture 





“Get Up and Bar the Door” was portrayed in Miss Anderson’s 
senior English class by Dottie Vara, Mary Lou Maurer, and 
Reg Fowler. This was a ballad written during the medieval 
period of English Literature. The author is unknown. 



Judy Wilson and Bonnie Hill are pondering over a theme for 
Miss Anderson’s composition class. This is a good subject for 
all college-minded seniors.

Hobart Is Represented By 




Jim High and Bob Malmquist watch as Lynn Cook explains a chart 
showing the basic structure of Latin words. First year students 
realize that many English words are derived from Latin which helps 
them in their English studies. 



Meet Germany! Susan Jansen and Kurt Kannowski are examining 
pamphlets and maps while trying to figure out the emblems of 
Germany in an effort to become more acquainted with the country. 



Marge Scott and Jim High display typical Roman dress. 
Assisting in the costuming is Judy Swanson. Second year 
Latin is devoted to the study of such things as Roman 
dress, costumes and food. 





Latin 

The best thoughts of the Western World are contained 
in Latin literature which is taught all students of the 
subject. The Latin language contains many philosophical 
writings through the Medieval Period and contains informa- 
tion pertaining to all fields of knowledge including mathe- 
matics and the arts. 

The scope of Latin includes a study of the people who 
spoke the language — their customs, ideals, and backgrounds. 

Advantages in taking Latin as a classroom subject are 
(1) it strengthens one’s vocabulary and (2) it helps the 
student obtain a broadened background in English funda- 
mentals through the influence of Latin on our native 
tongue. 



German 

German was added to the curriculum for the first time 
this year, and was taught by Mrs. Astrid Cicak, a native 
of Yugoslavia, who has been in this country 10 years. 

Many people are interested in taking German because 
of their own background and because they want to learn 
about their ancestors. German is needed in many professions 
and proves useful when taken in high school. 

In first year German the structure of sentences is 
studied and conversations in German between individuals 
are carried on. The background of the German people is 
also studied and their history, customs, and songs are delved 
into.

“Big Four” In Language Arts. 

Displaying the pinata, a large papier mache object 
filled with candy and presents for Christmas is Daryle 
Teague. Pam Frame holds a morocco which distinguishes 
that particular culture known to Spain. 





Barbara Davis points out the Spanish speaking countries of the world 
to Dave Koziol. Studying locations of the countries helps students 
obtain a basic understanding of Spanish speaking nationalities. 



Spanish 

By taking Spanish a person learns the fundamentals of 
the Spanish language, with emphasis on the conversational 
approach. The student obtains a general survey of Latin 
American culture. 

Vocabulary flash cards, films from airline countries, in- 
formation from the consulates of Spanish-speaking coun- 
tries and use of a tape recorder are some of the teaching 
methods employed. Use of an opaque projector for addi- 
tional material for translation, and providing duplicated 
material for translating stories are also provided. 

Advantages in taking Spanish include gaining a sub- 
stantial background for studying Spanish in college and 
it also aids those interested in conversing with Spanish- 
speaking persons. 



John Lain as Charles, JoAnn Kurth as Clara, and Tom Howard 
as the thief are in this scene front the one-act play, “Sham.” 



Speech 

Because we live in a democracy we should have training 
in the basic fundamentals of good speech making. A de- 
mocracy is based upon freedom of speech. In a democracy 
we must have self expression. Our leaders must be able to 
express themselves intelligently. Thus we need to know how 
to speak. 

Grades in speech are based primarily upon the oral work 
done by the students. Some of the things worked on in 
speech are the Rotary Club Speech Contest and the play, 
“Our Town.” Also emphasized is group discussion and par- 
liamentary procedure.

Did you ever wonder why science is offered in the 
high school? The reasons are: 1) As a subject it de- 
velops clear thinking; 2) it offers a means of learning 
laboratory techniques; 3) for the career minded stu- 
dent it offers a concrete basis for further study; and 
4) as a specific attitude it shows the student how to 
solve problems of everyday life. 

The physical science department offers a two semes- 
ter course in general inorganic chemistry. About 40% 
to 50% of the time is spent in the laboratory and the 
remainder is spent in lecture, study, demonstration and 
discussion. 

A third semester of chemistry has now been added 
to our course of study. 

With regards to science for the future, let us con- 
sider that man still labors under many handicaps placed 
upon him by his past history. He is the victim of in- 
herited superstitions and false information furnished by 
many advertising media. These fears and prejudices 
affect his daily life and warp his judgement. But the 
individual with a true understanding of chemistry will 
have a new version of truth and will perceive a new 
beauty in nearly everything around him. 

A mastery of science is to be encouraged for all 
students of the “modern age” because of the threats 
of peace to our nation and also it strengthens our un- 
derstanding to an appreciation of what the world, as 
it is, has to offer.

The objectives in a general biology course 
are to develop curiosity, open-mindedness, 
and the ability to utilize scientific methods 
in solving problems. The course also de- 
velops desire to achieve and maintain good 
health for oneself and the community. 

It also enables students to have an under- 
standing of life processes in plants and 
animals, arouses awareness and understand- 
ing of plants and animals belonging to our 
environment and promotes conservation of 
natural resources. The student also develops 
recreational interests and hobbies, and the 
course assists pupils vocation wise. 

The advanced biology course offers pupils 
knowledge of the life processes and struc- 
tures of plants, contributes to a well rounded 
knowledge of orderly arrangement and be- 
havior in nature and helps pupils see the 
biological world as a whole. 

Physics is studied to enrich understand- 
ing of, and appreciation for, these concepts 
by their frequent application to everyday 
life and to industry. 

The subject is designed to establish 
habits of reflective thinking which will pro- 
mote use of the scientific methods in solv- 
ing everyday problems. 

Tom Kicinski watches as Gene Marcinkowski and Ron Janott demonstrate an 
experiment in Physics which questions a difference in weight between objects

Intelligence And Perseverance Are 



Needed By 




The Hobart High School math department is divided 
into four major classes of study: general math, algebra, 
geometry, and trigonometry. 

General mathematics is the study of the basic math 
practices such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and 
division. This course summaries the previous math from 
grade school and junior high. These are taken by the 
industrial arts major or the secretarial major. 

The main objectives of algebra are: 1) to develop better 
understanding of numbers, and 2) to establish an appre- 
ciation for both, the intrinsic and extrinsic values of 
mathematics, and 3) to encourage habits of deliberation, 
perseverance, thoroughness and intellectual independence. 

This year Hobart has added a fifth semester of college 
algebra to the curriculum. The traditional algebra courses 
consist of two semesters of beginning algebra, two se- 
mesters of advanced algebra, and the fifth semester of 
college algebra. During these five semesters of algebra a 
student gets a firm foundation for the advanced math 
courses encountered in college. The geometry department 
is divided into two sections, plane geometry and solid 
geometry. Its objectives are 1) to increase the powers of 
observation, 2) to develop an appreciation for the need of 



Dave Beres and Karen Wliisler are showing their skill in 
algebra by working out a problem on the board in Mr. 
Fackler’s 3rd hour class.

Hmm — Looks like we have a problem here. 
Roger Ramaley, Manuel Ernhart, and Tom 
Hawke are all trying to figure out how many 
angles there are in each one of these geometric 
figures. Purpose of the course is to help stu- 
dents think, according to Mr. Stanley Senderak, 
instructor. 




Clif St. Clair and Carol Johnston are showing 
their geometry class the differences in the 
amount of degrees in various angles.

That Strange Mechanism — The Math Major 



the logical proof, and 3) to strengthen the ability 
to read mathematics with understanding. Plane 
geometry is usually taken during the sophomore year 
and is continued for two semesters. In plane geometry 
the student is primarily concerned with the proofs 
of postulates and theorems, which later in the course 
enables him to prove the authenticity of certain 
statements. 

In solid geometry, the student becomes acquainted 
with various formulas pertaining to volume, area 
and perimeter of three dimensional objects. This is 
also a good course to help the “Thinking Machine.” 
Solid geometry is taken after either the third or 
fourth semester of algebra and it lasts for one 
semester. 

Trigonometry is the study of the triangle and the 
proportional parts of it. Trigonometry is primarily a 
memory course, and students entering it must start 
out with an open mind. Trigonometry has a definite 
practical value for the college-bound student. 

Hobart High’s math courses are taught by: Mr. 
Byron Reed, Mr. Clifford Fackler, Mr. Stanley Sen- 
derak, and Mr. Marion Bailey, all of whom have 
their Master’s degrees. 



Jim Thompson watches as Chuck Heilman and Ken 
Nibbe demonstrate the sextant and its uses in Mr. 
Fackler’s second-hour Trigonometry class. 





The business education courses are designed to help 
high school students: 

1) do better work in college, and 

2) it prepares them for jobs in the clerical field. The 
courses allow the student to use in a practical way, some 
of the knowledge acquired during the 10th or 11th years 
in high school. 

In taking shorthand a person improves his speed and 
gains practice in taking dictation notes. He also increases 
his speed in taking dictation of difficult material. The 
student also transcribes material of increasing difficulty 
on the typewriter. 

In addition the courses aid the student in developing 
a pleasing personality and he acquires knowledge con- 
cerning the businesslike appearance, attitudes, and 
standards. 

By taking typing the students develop advanced levels 
of speed and accuracy, and increased skill in typing 
geared to occupational proficiency. He gains efficiency in 
applying functionally related business learnings and de- 
velops ability to read, interpret, and follow directions 
when handling representative business problems. 

Through daily classroom activities the student learns 
desirable work habits, attitudes, and character traits 
essential in business offices. Business courses give the 
student an excellent opportunity to prepare for a future 
career in whatever phase majored in.

Follow The Leader — Take Home Economics 



Bonnie Beckett shows Joyce Hayes and Barb Bayless how to make a paper 
bag out of old newspapers. Child care teaches you how to understand children 
and shows you the proper methods in caring for them. It teaches one of the 
best ways to gain children’s love, mainly to take time to be with them and 
join in some of their activities. 



The general home economics classes teach 
the students how to make a better home and 
enables them to learn homemaking skills. It 
also encourages cleanliness, health, and the 
development of wholesome personalities. 

The subjects included in the home ec. field 
are foods, clothing, hygiene and home nursing, 
family relations, home management, and con- 
sumer buying. 

Something different added this year was a 
course in foreign cooking which lasted for 
nine weeks. It proved to be helpful as a key 
to understanding foreign people and their 
nationalities, and in learning the correct prep- 
aration for their foods. 

By taking home ec. a girl learns what is

Industrial Arts Indicates Student Progress 

Measuring and working on a fireplace to be used for one of the dramatic class’ plays 
are John Rans, Dave Thyen, and Charles Judge. The work is being done in one of 
Mr. Sullivan’s wood working classes. 

Industrial Arts is a part of our regular 
program of general education. Industrial 
Arts instruction provides understandings 
of, and experiences with, tools, materials, 
and processes of our industrial and tech- 
nical age. 

Industrial Arts makes possible experi- 
ences in drafting, woodwork, metalwork, 
crafts, power and transportation, elec- 
tricity and communication, and graphic 
arts. 

It furthers consumer knowledge and 
appreciation of the other fellow and his 
occupation. It promotes an understanding 
of industry and fosters the development 
of desirable work attitudes, work habits 
and character traits. 

Senior High School Industrial Arts 
provides broad, industrial occupational 
orientation through well organized shop 
experiences and develops an understand- 
ing of their own interest and abilities. 

The reasons students take Industrial 
Education is to prepare them for trade 
or industrial employment. They feel the 
need to improve present skills and knowl- 
edge, or they want to prepare themselves 
for a new occupation.

Just Drifting 



Through . . . 



Seniors — that final year is reached at last. With a 
sigh of relief you walk down the corridors — you happily 
reminisce. This is your last year, and oh yes, you won’t 
miss the place until . . . yes, the day is nearer, and the 
memories come forward. 

As you drift once again through the corridors and 
give a last look . . . you think, and the thoughts merge 
on new ideas. You will miss the place, the friends you’ve 
made, the projects you’ve worked on together, the plans 
you had a hand in. What will you take with you?, a 
better character? a more refined mind? a greater un- 
derstanding of your fellow classmates and friends? Yes, 
and more; memories are made of this. 

And in the future when you glance through this book 
remember that from this experience of your senior year 
you were to go on to greater things. Good luck, Seniors, 
as you launch upon a new career.

These senior members pose unaffectedly for their class picture. They are, from lejt to right: Warren Arnold, Jerry Davis, Ed Pitrowski, 
Ralph Knickerbocker, Eric Lundahl, Jay Dean, Gerald Kennett, Charles Judge, Bob Cowles, and Ron Gott. 








Ken Tarchala, a student of the work experience program 
open to seniors, is discussing with Mr. Bernie Smetzer the 
requirements for a particular position during a visit to his 
office. 



Bruce Mole, chairman, and the members of the announce- 
ment committee, Angeline Navarro, Don Schmaltz, Paul 
Krause and Linda Mills make a choice as to which of the 
two designs they prefer. 



Work Together - Cheer Together Before Good-bys 



Sitting in a block of their own and wearing their sweaters mitted to the Roosevelt game free as their last privilege 

and sweatshirts are these senior students who were ad- during Senior Week.

No, this isn’t a Hawaiian hula dancer. It’s Dick Caldwell 
taking time out while working on the senior float. Theme 
o£ the float was, “We’re expecting — A victory.” 



Carving for the years to come, leaving behind them a memory 
of their names, and behind their names, a memory of what 
they were. These four seniors happily engraving their names 




“We’re expecting a victory,” and we got one following the 
homecoming game. Weyman was on the scene the night of 
our win to be driven around the field to the screams of 
yelling fans. 



are, from left to right: Lee Lovall, Betty Guth, Marilyn 
Loiacano, and Larry Rosenbaum.

A senior walks into the school — this 
time for the last time as a student. 
Both will walk out alumnae of Hobart 
High taking with them many memories 
for the future. The seniors are Karen 
Voyles and Dick Caldwell. 




It’s time to wear senior sweaters and 
sweatshirts or so these senior members 
think. From left to right, are: Larry 
Powell, Jerry Anderson, Evelyn Dras- 
chil, and Betty McBride. 



62 




“All Bills paid here,” announces Karen Voyles, senior class 
treasurer, as she collects from Mick Zimny and Mary Ann 



Van Blaircom. This same expression is heard frequently by 
Seniors through their last year. 



Pay Bills, Sign Pix, Seek Guidance . . . 



“Rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief;” these thoughts 
travel through the minds of these seniors John Stofko, Pete 
Winske, Donna Boling, and Judy Hood as they wait for guid- 
ance on their future occupations from Mr. Bailey. 




“Have pictures, will trade” is the buzz heard around the 
senior lockers as Brianne Ballantyne and Don Cary do just 
that. 




63 






Underclassmen Bow to Seniors — 




“Step aside,” instructs Diane Talian, senior, to Tom Con- 
away, sophomore, as Pete Winske, senior, prepares to 
take a drink of water from the senior drinking fountain. 




Groans arise as Larry Pio smilingly walks out of his class five 
minutes early. It seems that the sophomores and juniors don’t 
appreciate having to appreciate seniors. 



“It's Oke with Coke,” agree Chuck Schmelter, Barbara Hahn, and Waiting patiently for their surprise dessert are these 

Ken Nibbe as they “swallow down” free cokes during Senior Week. seniors who enjoyed line privileges during Senior Ap- 

preciation Week. They were served ahead of teachers 
and underclassmen. 





64 







Seniors Bow to No-One -During S.A.W 



Keeping the lounge chairs warm are these seniors 
who had the privilege of being the only “sitters on 
the bench,” one day during Senior Week. 





No detention for these seniors as they arrive 70 minutes late 
to class on Monday of Senior Week. These students seem to 
be stalling off their arrival time at class until the latest 
possible moment. 



These seniors had a head start before the oncoming rush of 
the underclassmen since they had the privilege to leave class 
five minutes early during Tuesday of Senior Week. 



Waiting for a free hand out from Mr. Hunt are these seniors 
who were admitted to the Roosevelt game free as their last 
privilege during Senior Week. 









65 








Judy Freeland is putting her 
home ec knowledge to good 
use by teaching others in 
Mrs. Partlow’s home ec class 
on Senior day. The most qual- 
ified students are chosen for 
the teaching jobs that the sen- 
iors acquire that day. 



Marilyn Lee is explaining to 
Mr. Nixon’s Freshman alge- 
bra class a problem she has 
just put on the board. Pat 
Zickuhr, who took over Mr. 
Nixon’s class on Senior day 
stands by ready to help Mar- 
ilyn with her explanation. 



Seniors Have Hard Day as They 



Step into Well 



Deane Cook, busy explaining 
plant life in Miss Stuart’s first 
year biology class, is trying out 
her wings as a teacher on Sen- 
ior day. During that day the 
Seniors man the teaching posi- 
tions in Junior high and the 
high school. 




66 





Linda Quinlan, Sheila Schultz, Judy Wilson, and Joan Martin, 
seniors, are discussing their teaching applications for Senior 



day with Mrs. Sillery. The applications will be sent to a 
committee for approval. 



-Worn Shoes of Teachers and Administrators 

Elaine Carpenter watches on as Jon Stafford conducts a class discussion on 
the chapter which he has just finished reading to the class. Elaine took over 
Mrs. Grace Todd’s English classes on Senior day. 



On May 13 the seniors had the 
privilege of stepping into the shoes 
of the school board, administrators, 
teachers, and office personnel. This 
was the seventh consecutive year 
that Senior day was held in Hobart 
high. 

Five days earlier on May 8, sen- 
iors prepared themselves by viewing 
the teaching techniques and class- 
room procedure during a classroom 
visitation. 

Purpose of Senior day is to ac 
quaint the seniors with the prob- 
lems of the teachers and school 
administration on what would be 
a typical school day. Classes were 
conducted as usual with both the 
Junior and Senior high partici- 
pating. 




67 





Through . . . 



Sophomores — you are treading anew the well worn 
paths of the upperclassmen. Juniors — you are now well 
launched on a school career. The things once new in 
the school building have become more familiar. 

Courses of study have been selected, activities have 
been chosen. You are now working to become better 
leaders and better followers by your participation in 
class projects and clubs. Publications, play groups, and 
other organizations have bid for your patronage. And 
you have answered the call of some of them. 

Choose well your projects, for it will not be long 
when they will be memories. Just drifting through, yes 
but with purpose and intent. Make high school be the 
foundation for your future; make your future the 
glorious reflection of those things mastered and learned 
in our new Hobart high school building.

orations to be used for the 
prom during a recent visit to 
the Palette Shop. 





Jan Evanoff and Pat Driscoll, co-chairmen 
of the decoration committee for the prom, 
are instructing Donna Erwin on the art 
of making centerpieces with theme “Cha- 
teau de Fleur,” House of Flowers, in 
mind. 




“Raid ’Em” was the theme of the Jun- 
ior’s winning float. The float was adorned 
with a large Brickie shooting the “Hor- 
nets” with Raid. P.S. — the Brickies won 
the game.

Doug Morris and Kathy Miko, newly elected royalty of the Junior 
class party, successfully reign over the gala affair. 




Money paid; now the fun of pick- 
ing up and trying on rings begins. 
Here Jim Lake, Connie Peacock, 
and Vicki Small obtain theirs 
from Mr. Matt Selling, co-owner 
of the Jewel Shop.

“Smother those Hornets” was the slogan used by 
the sophomores for their first attempt at a float. 
A large Brickie trying to smother the Hornets 
decorated their float. 




“Can I interest you in a magazine?” asks Ad- 
rienne Immel and Donna Morris of Melissa De- 
Leurere during the Sophomore magazine drive. The 
drive was to raise money for the Junior-Senior 
Prom. 

“Victory, Victory that’s our cry,” shout the 
Sophomores as the victory bell peals out the 
ring of another Brickie triumph. The Sopho- 
mores include Sharon Veltri, Pat Scott, Steve 
Atwater, Sharon Small, Rich Ondrovich, and 
Claus Ackermann. 




Sue Weiler shows Jim Harwood the class ring that she prefers while the 
clerks advise her to “always pick out the size class ring that fits your 
boy friend’s finger and he should do the same for you.” She doesn’t 
agree as she allows Jim to look at it.

Events like proms, dances, and class 
parties are classified as strictly “extra- 
curricular.” And yet they are a part of 
you and you grew as you participated in 
these social activities. 

These activities in moderation are nec- 
essary and bridge a gap between work and 
play. They teach communication with our 
fellow man and they make our move 
through life easier. 






Each man as he drifts through life must 
engage in some social activity, and at one 
time or another, all men will feel ill at 
ease. 

Social life lessens the frequency of this 
feeling and eventually a person becomes 
free and easy in social affairs. 

And so it is with pride that we record 
your social fun in the succeeding pages.

Sally Adams, campaign manager for Mike Davis, 
wishes him luck in the coming school elections. The 
election was to be the climax of a never-to-be- 
forgotten summer of hard work, sprinkled with fun. 



Mike Davis and Linda Howell led this year’s Purple Party to victory 
in one of the school’s liveliest and most colorful campaigns. 

The members of both parties worked with great enthusiasm, backing 
their candidates by means of humorous posters, announcements, and 
parades. 

The Gold Party, led by its Mayor and Clerk candidates, Willie Regier 
and Martha McMurtry, employed such tactics as hanging gold records 
from the chandeliers in the lounge, and having an airplane drop paper 
plates which read “Vote Gold.” 

The whitewashed mark which the Purple Party left will last for years 
to come. The party workers spent many nights painting sidewalks, 
streets, and even Jim Ray’s truck! 

While the campaigns meant a great deal of work, a hayride and a 
midnight picnic served to break the monotony of sign painting. 

This year’s campaign parade started on 8th Street in front of the 
school. Dick Raiza, Hobart’s racing policeman, led the procession. 
Following him was the band playing a variety of songs. Next came 
Brian Skogler in a maroon ’53 Dodge 'pulling the Purple Party’s float. 

The float was made of kleenex flowers, sprayed purple, and had a 
trellis on the hack of it. Several Purple Party cars and many cheering 
students followed the float. The cars were driven by Roger Remaley, 
Dick Caldwell, and John Hupertz. 



Purple and Gold Campaigns 



Cheerfully painting Purple Party posters are John Hupertz, 
Mary Louise Stone, and John Stofko. Admiring their work 
and also coaching are Peggy Tucker and Brian Skogler. 



Linda Howell cries tears of happiness as she is 
heartily congratulated by her friends and supporters 
as the winner of the Clerk post. 





Gold Party cars were driven by Pete Leichty, Phil Gerard, Bob 
Walk, and Jim Blackburn. Last, but by no means least, on a hay- 
wagon pulled by Mr. Dave Caldwell, was a band of cheering Gold 
Party enthusiasts. 



The parade turned on Water Street and went to 6th It then con- 
tinued onto Main Street and through town. Many people lined the 
streets to see the parade; and few missed hearing it — for it was 
truly the parade that made Tamany Hall of Hobart come alive. 





As Linda Howell leaves the voting booth, Jim Ray 
congratulates her for being one of the 620 students 
who voted in the Mayor-Clerk-Treasurer elections 
Linda went on to win the post of clerk-treasurer. 



Highlight the Year 




Enthusiasm is reflected in the faces of these Gold 
party supporters. They are being pulled through 
town by a tractor driven by Mr. Dave Caldwell. 



Pete Liechty and Ruth Marconi are eagerly painting 
posters for their favorite candidates of the Gold 
party — Willie Regier and Martha McMurtry.

Hobart Slaughters Hornets 62-51 -Then Celebrates 




Gwen Welch and her dancing part- 
ner Boh Bergeson strut gaily dur- 
ing the football homecoming dance. 
The dance was held in the school 
lobby following the win over the 
Lew Wallace “Hornets.” 



Excitement and tenseness are re- 
flected in the faces of these Brickie 
boosters as they direct the crowd 
in cries of “Beat the Hornets” dur- 
ing the football homecoming game. 





It looks as if spooks and witches should he the theme of this 
picture. Actually it is the bonfire in which the “Hornet” was 
burned before the Football Homecoming.

Queen Gwen Welch and her court: Sandy Lea, Becky Griffiths, Mole, respectively, presented each of the royal foursome with 

and Joyce Tosch, compose the homecoming royalty. Their. one dozen red roses during the half-time ceremonies, 

escorts: Jim Marler, Jerry Anderson, John Jamison, and Bruce 



Plenty of enthusiasm was the only ticket needed to join the 
fun of the bonfire and snake dance before Homecoming. The 
students met at 7 :30 in Brickie Bowl to begin the dance. A 
police escort led the fans, followed by cars of enthusiasts, 
down Main Street. 

At the conclusion of the pep rally, everyone returned to 
Brickie Bowl for the bonfire. All of the students circled around 
the fire, and watched the big yellow hornet sizzle down to 
nothing. 

During this session, the group madly yelled, “Burn that 
Hornet.” Cheerleaders led everyone in numerous cheers. Then 
Wally Geib gave a pep talk, which was followed by rousing 
cheers and our school song. 



To the music of “Fascination” our homecoming candidates 
were driven around the Brickie Bowl during the half-time of 
the Lew Wallace homecoming game. Robed in blue and white 
formals, respectively, Joyce Tosch and Becky Griffiths waved 
to the crowd from the first car. Following closely in the 
second car were Sandy Lea, bedecked in white, and Gwen 
Welch, garbed in a white formal adorned with pink net trim. 
Joyce’s escort was Bruce Mole, Becky’s, Jerry Anderson, 
Sandy’s, Jim Marler, and Gwen’s, John Jamison. Martha Hart- 
man, senior class president, announced Gwen as the 1959 
Homecoming queen, and at that moment John Jamison crowned 
her with a glittered headpiece of white mums. Gwen and her 
court were each presented a dozen red roses. 



Following the game was the Homecoming dance which was 
a perfect encore to our victory over the Lew Wallace Hornets. 
In the middle of the evening, the queen and her court 
paraded down the main stairs onto the dance floor in the 
lobby! The homecoming sweetheart, Gwen Welch, was es- 
corted by Wally Geib and Chuck Donaldson. Members of the 
court were Becky Griffiths, Sandy Lea, and Joyce Tosch. 
Their escorts were Mike Davis, Mick Zimny, and Bob Ber- 
geson, respectively. As the girls were escorted in, Queen 
Gwen was presented with a white football, autographed by 
the members of the team and by Wally and Chuck. 

Another highlight of the evening was a dance contest from 
which several winners were selected.

Roger Remaley, Martha Hartman, Peggy Tucker, Fran Chever- 
ton, and Jim Thompson composed the panel which discussed the 
“Need for Emphasizing Juvenile Decency.” Mike Davis led 
the question and answer period which followed. Some of the 



problems discussed were the fact that this area is considered 
“the region” by many, and thoughts were centered on how to 
improve its reputation

Speeches Comprised 




The first meeting of the 1959 Leadership Conference was called 
to order at 1:00 P. M. on October 26, by the school mayor, Mike

Donna Boling, and Judy Freeland. 

“How to Emphasize Juvenile Decency” was the topic of dis- 
cussion presented by a panel consisting of Peggy Tucker, Martha

Following adjournment, group discussions were again held.

Listening to others’ suggestions was rated by Wilbur Regier as 
one of the qualities of a good follower. Willie spoke at the second 
Leadership Conference held in Hobart High School. 



In this session of the Leadership Conference, several stu- 
dents await their chances to discuss problems of Juvenile 
Delinquency, while listening to the panel answer a ques- 
tion on Juvenile Decency. The students showed interest 
and enthusiasm in the problems of others and how they 
could be solved. 



After each session of the Leadership Conference, students 
gathered in discussion groups. The leader opened the 
meeting by having the participants state their name and 
their reason for being in the conference. A recorder took 
down and compiled all notes.

Girls Dote Over Boys on April 1st Turnabout Day 




This April first was not only special be- 
cause of being April Fool’s Day, but it was 
also Turnabout Day at Hobart High. Turn- 
about Day is the day when the boys allow 
the girls to perform special favors for them. 

The girls’ masculine roles included carry- 
ing the boys’ books, opening doors for them, 
and all such services which boys usually 
perform for girls. 

The perfect conclusion to this day could 
only be a Turnabout Dance in which the 
girls asked the boys for the dates, bought 
the tickets, and a few girls even provided 
transportation. I’ll bet the boys wish every 
day was Turnabout Day! 



Tom Teer seems to enjoy having his steady, Carol Wasy, perform such favors 
as helping him from the car on Turnabout Day at Hobart High. 



Peggy Louis is putting Reg Fowler’s books into his locker 
for him. But why? Oh, yes, it’s Turnabout Day when the 
girls wait on the boys — and like it. 






What’s this, Maureen Holland opening a door for Tom 
Hawke? Yes, true enough, for it is Turnabout Day. Carry- 
ing Dennis Coates’ books is Barbara Hahn.

the question many students are asking as 
Howard Schoonover tumbles on the tram- 
poline. Strangely enough he made it.

Many students wait tensely for the convo to begin. 
This year the many convos included such events as 
a trampoline act, the European folk dancers, and 
several speakers. 



These members of the Honor Society depict what 
students should not do during a pep session. Only 
two boys are interested in cheering, while the others 
engage in eating, reading, and gabbing.

Just Drifting 





Athletics — a nine letter word which includes all the sports at the high school; cross country, football, basket- 
ball, track, baseball, golf, intramurals, gym, and cheerleading. 

But the word athletics only begins the story. It does not tell the hours of work, the hours of coaching, the 
many hours of practice. It does not tell the struggle of the athlete as he tries not just to drift through the 
sport, but rather as he tries with a pull on physical and mental energy to become a success. 

The athlete has determination, will power, love of the sport. He practices good sportsmanship and keeps the 
hours required. He gives of himself down to the last dregs of energy when on the field or on the court or on 
the diamond, he performs for the public; and for you the students of Hobart high. 

Hats off to our athletes. May they live in our Memories for time immemorial.

Co-Captain Jim Marler Captures Sectional Crown 



Jim Marler, captain of the cross-country team, and freshman 
ace Bernie Claxton are going through the paces at a cross- 
country meet. Jim, a varsity member his freshman year, is 
always hard pressed by Bernie. The boys managed to finish 
first and second in most of our meets. They both plan to 
continue their X-Country careers.

Hobart Harriers Look to 1960 for Winning Season 

Losing all but captain Jim Marler from the 1958 third place 
state meet fivesome, the Brickie harriers found themselves in a 
rebuilding year that began slowly but gave definite indications 
as the campaign drew to a close that the Hobart harriers of 1960 
would again be a power packed sectional and state meet threat. 

Spirited along by junior captain, Marler, and their freshman 
sensation, Bemie Claxton, Coach Frank Kurth’s squad of new 
recruits worked long and hard for the improvement that saw 
them finish fourth in the IHSAA sectional meet, just one posi- 
tion short of qualifying for a state meet berth. 

The early season meets found the Ho-Hi harriers losing to Calu- 
met, Crown Point, Chesterton, Valparaiso, Michigan City and Gary 
Roosevelt, perennial toughies of the hill and dale sport, despite 
the 1-2 finish of Jim Marler and Bernie Claxton in these regu- 
larly scheduled meets. The dual between the two Hobart aces 
for individual scoring honors was so close that it took three 
straight victories on the part of Captain Marler in the closing 
meets to enable him to post scoring honors for the season by a 
51-48 count over Claxton. Their teammates elected them co-captains 
for the ’60 season. 

Coming up with greatly improved times as the season progressed 
were Brickie runners Dave Taylor, John McDowell, Floyd Rogers, 
Pete Liechty, Jim Thompson and Bob Loiacano. They combined 
with the Marler-Claxton duo to post triumphs over River Forest 
and Chesterton, climaxed by a pleasing sectional showing. 

Perhaps the greatest individual feat of the fall campaign was 
registered by Marler as he captured the IHSAA (Hobart) sectional 
crown with a fine clocking of 9:42.5 for the two-mile grind. 
Claxton placed third in 9:48.5. Both athletes continued their good 
running in the final state championship race by placing 14th 
and 15th in a field of over 250 top runners. Claxton also won 
single honors in the Shortridge High School invitational freshman 
Wz mile run by romping to a new record of 7:38.7 to far out- 
distance his competition. The old mark of 7 :50.5 was set in 1956 
by Fred Wiley of Bloomington High School.

Hobart Brickies Complete Season as Fifth in State 



Dave Mueller (30) is brought down after a long run while Rudy 
Kuechenberg (36) tries to foil the tacklers. Other players are Jim 
Henley (46), Chuck Schmelter (31), and Wally Geib (42). 




Starting the 1959-60 football season, the Brickies 
were again ranked as one of the top teams in the 
state. The first game put doubt into many minds as 
to whether this was going to hold true this season. 
The first game with Whiting proved to be a near 
upset. Hobart started slowly, but quickly gained 
enough to edge out Whiting 26-18. 

Hobart then overcame all doubts in everyone’s mind 
as to the strength of the team, by overwhelming their 
next two opponents: Emerson 33-6 and Griffith 26-6. 

Standout defensive work handcuffed the Panthers 
of Gary Roosevelt to a net gain of 107 yards as the, 
truculent Brickies of Hobart slammed home their 4th 
straight victory of the season 14-6. 

Following the Roosevelt game, Hobart then pro- 
ceeded to plough through their next three opponents: 
Crown Point, 35-7 ; Lew W allace, 35-7 ; and Michigan 
City, 32-7. 

Once again the thorn in the side of the Hobart 
team was East Chicago Roosevelt as the Brickies lost 
a mud splattered game 13-0 for their first defeat 
after having won 16 straight games. The Brickies 
took out their loss on Tolleston, smashing the Blue 
Riders 50-0 to end their season on the gridiron. 



104 





John Hupertz (19) pushes forward for a large gain as Jim 
Ray (57), Jim Henley (46), and Dan Schroeder (51) clear his 
way. This action occurred during the Emerson game at Gilroy 
Stadium. 



When Russ Says 




Expressions of pain mark the faces of Bob Graham (45) and 
George Vavrek (54) as they bring down an unidentified Crown 
Point player. Also aiding in the tackle is Wilbur Regier (20). 



“Win”- We “Win”!!! 



Tense looks from the sidelines are expressed by the 
team and their coach, Russ Deal. They need not worry 
as the Brickies who ended their season ranked fifth in 
the state and easily rolled over all the teams they played 
except East Chicago Roosevelt. The game played here 
was played against Griffith away from home. Next to 
Russ is his 11 year old son, Mike. 











Brickies of Hobart smashed massive Michigan 
City’s Red Devils 32-7 with a whirlwind 2nd half 
offensive. 

The triumph was ample revenge for the 7-7 tie 
Michigan City gained with Hobart last year, which 
was the blot in an otherwise perfect Brickie cam- 
paign. 

Furthermore, Hobart was still smarting from its 
only 1959 defeat, a 13-0 loss at East Chicago Roose- 
velt. 

Brickie fullback John Hupertz plunged over from 
the one-yard line for first blood, but Mueller’s kick 
for the p.a.t. was wide. 

Dave Mueller, Hobart’s star halfback, scored on a 
two-yard line plunge, and on a 48-yard run after 
receiving a lateral from quarterback Chuck Donald- 
son. Both of Mueller’s kicks for points were blocked. 

In closing its season on a 8-1 mark, Hobart had 
as good a claim as any to the independent high 
school mythical state championship. 



Chuck Donaldson (32) brings down a Tolleston Blue 
Raider as Mike Davis (37) charges in to aid in the 
tackle. Hobart went on to a smashing vistory 50-0. 



Deal Spurs Team On To Independent Championship. 

Mr. Deal delivers one of his half-time “pep” talks to the team of a man who is “out to win.” Final game score was 26-6. 
at the Griffith game. The stern expression depicts the features

The 1959-60 varsity basketball team is as follows,

Eikenbary. Standing, left to right: Coach Evar Ed- 
quist, Jim Grudzinski, Chuck Donaldson, Jerry Ander- 
son, Dave Beres, Bob Smith, Jim Chandler and Mike 
Davis. 



It seems as though Pete Liechty is laying down on the 
job. In reality he is attempting to pass off to Dave 
Beres (54) while Chuck Donaldson (32) and some 
Calumet Warriors look on. 






Organized Confusion 



A grimace of pain is shown by Pete Liechty as he 
tries desperately to take away the ball from a Roose- 
velt player! 



Mike Davis sails into the air with a 20 foot jump shot 
in the Hobart-Merrillville game. Chuck Donaldson 
awaits the rebound. 



Dave Barres, 54, clears the way for Mike Davis, 34, 
as Bob Smith, 45, watches the play. This game re- 
sulted in a win over Merrillville. 




on the Court 




Loose ball creates action in the Gary Roosevelt game. 
The Brickie players are Bob Smith, 45; Mike Davis, 
31; Chuck Donaldson, 32; and Dick Bliss, 23. 



Bob Smith waits for a pass as Mike Davis smashes 
his way toward the basket. Pete Liechty comes in to 
assist the play. 



Who gets the tip-in? This is the scorekeeper’s ques-

hall.

How would your ability be on the parallel bars? It is no 
easy pastime, as these boys in intramurals might tell you. On 
the bars are: Rick Baron, Bruce Mole, Larry Howey, Tom 
Stump. 



Intramurals are for boys who are not participating in any 
varsity competition at the present time. These boys meet on 
Tuesday or Thursday nights every week in the gym and en- 
gage in tumbling, basketball, weight lifting and trampoline 
activities. 

The Intramurals offers a well rounded sports program for 
every boy who is interested in organized sports. The most 
enthusiastic response for the meetings seems to occur during 
the basketball competition. The fellows divide into separate 
basketball squads and the teams are eliminated through com- 
petition until there is one remaining champion squad. 

These activities are not seasonal but continue throughout 
the school year and alternate periodically. 

Mr. Floyd Davis, sponsor and advisor, oversees all meetings 
and assists in coaching. Boys’ Intramurals are organized with 
the intent of developing the athletic interest and abilities of 
every individual. 



Intramurals - Thrills in Sports Once a Week 



A thrilling basketball game or a workout in tumbling are two of 
the activities that the boys in intramurals participate in. 





The newly received trampoline offered an exciting ac- 
tivity for these boys. “It takes practice for perfection,” 
they all agree. On the trampoline is Rudy Kuechenberg. 




Will Freddie’s Freeloaders win this game? Boys who do 
not play in varsity competition form the squad. They 
find the competition exciting and fun.

The girls’ gym classes perform many tumbling ac- 
tivities such as the pyramid. This feat takes time

getting it. 




Strong Bodies Build Sound Minds 




Will it go in? This seems to be what Donna Mathis is thinking 
during this girls’ gym class game.

The Varsity and Reserve cheerleaders are giving us a good example of 
their high school spirit in action by putting every effort into this 
formation. 



A vote of thanks goes to the substitute 
cheerleaders who give their help and 
support to the regular cheerleaders. 
The subs included, left to right: Sandy 
Lee, Janice Eickstead and Ruth Mar- 
coni. 



Cheerleaders lead a busy life of demanding 
practice. Every day finds them in the school 
lobby performing and working on new ways to 
lead cheers. On game night they have an hour 
workout and every other day they practice until 
4 o’clock. This year the school alloted $164 
for costumes. The money was spent on football 
and the girls purchased their basketball outfits. 

New cheers are obtained by the group dur- 
ing a conference in October. This year the 
girls felt that the booster club was outstanding. 
Further Martha Hartman commented that the 
Sophomores added a lot to the cheering section 
and brought a lot of enthusiasm with them 
from the old building. 



These little cuties are our Reserve cheerleaders 
who, when things get rough, are always ready 
to lend a helping hand. The 1959-60 reserve 
cheerleaders were, Beth Gallagher, front, Bev

“Join the clubs” and in the future when you are drifting through your Memories 
you will look back and note with fondness your activities. Many of them were time 
consuming and trying. 

At times perhaps you questioned their value. And yet these clubs formed an 
intricate part of your school life. You could not just drift through them to be 
successful. You had to give of yourself to feel the worth and merit of the 
organization. 

In the following pages we pay a salute to you and to the many club activities 
that have filled your school days with happiness.

Dear Students, 

Putting out the Ho-Hi Life first semester was a time-consum- 
ing, nerve-racking job. However, the staff gave all they had 
to the paper and had a lot of fun in doing it. 

We put out five issues which were printed by John Dudley, 
owner of the Hobart Gazette. Our paper had quite a jinx on 
the printer’s shop. Dropping a chase, static electricity and a 
broken motor were a few of the troubles which caused the 
paper to come out late. 

I would like to thank the faculty, our advertisers, and 
former editor, Brent Dickson, for their co-operation without 
which the paper would not have been possible. Special thanks 
goes to Miss Quinn, our sponsor, and Jet, our means of 
transportation. 

I sincerely hope that all my predecessors will learn as much 
as I did and will have as much fun as I had being a part 
of the Ho-Hi Life. 

Sincerely, 

Dottie Vara 




Dear Ho-Hi Students, 

The Ho-Hi Life concludes its last issue on June 3rd, with 
the beginning journalists acting as editors. One of the latter 
issues is traditionally published by them as they will be your 
next year’s staff. 

Each issue has tried to be informative and at the same 
time has attempted to be entertaining. Our editorials, I 
especially hope, have made the students of this high school 
do some reflective thinking. 

Our aim has been in publishing a tri-weekly paper, to give 
potential journalists the experience required and to provide 
the student body with a publication of which it can be proud. 

Sincere thanks goes to the faculty and administration for 
their co-operation and to the second semester staff. 

In conclusion, I wish to extend my best wishes to the 
1960-61 Ho-Hi Life staff. Good luck, future journalists! 

Yours sincerely.

An eager working Yearbook staff has com- 
pleted the year’s work with many recollections 
of happy memories. The task involved the pre- 
paring of a mock dummy, the assigning of 
photos, the taking and cropping of pictures, the 
writing of copy and captions, then mailing, the 
business side, ads and the list goes on. 

When the work is completed and the pages 
are turned the staff will look back with a sense 
of pride in this new accomplishment. It would 
be hard to compute the hours of work put into 
this book. But. consider for a moment the time 
involved in just deciding what would go on each 
page. After epch page was set up the copy had 
to be written and approved. Each page had to 
be handled several times before completion. 

And so in presenting to you our 1960 Memories 
we add to it the comment that the experience 
has been worth the work and effort and we 
hope that you gleam some pleasure from it.

Stamp, crop, and write captions for pictures, check layout 
sheets, and write and type copy are just a few of the many 
steps in producing a good section. From left to right, are: 



Peggy Louis, academic editor; Vickie Small, assistant; Linda 
Vaidik, faculty editor; Peggy Farrell, organization editor; and 
Kathy Nagy, assistant. 




“Be is known that the Executive Council 
by authority in it vested grants unto the 
Hobart High School of Hobart, Indiana, 
full authority to establish and to perpetuate 
a chapter of Quill and Scroll at the afore- 
said High School.” This plaque paved the 
way for the teaching of Journalism as a 
course of study. 

Further it encourages young writers to 
become proficient as after a year of Jour- 
nalism the outstanding students are recom- 
mended for membership and then after be- 
ing a journeyman for a year the students 
become eligible to receive writing awards. 

Bonnie Hill, center, was this year’s re- 
cipient of the creative writing award while 
Judy Wilson, Dot Vara, and Freya Jensen 
received the editor-in-chief award pins. The 
Quill and Scroll organization is also recog- 
nized in colleges, where the student con- 
tinues his honorary membership.

The Hi-Y is an organization of high 
school boys, affiliated with the Hobart 
Y.M.C.A. Its purpose is “to create, main- 
tain, and extend throughout the home, 
school, and community high standards of 
Christian character.” 

Some of this year’s activities have been 
a judo exhibition given for the student 
body; movies on hunting and fishing; 
speakers on such subjects as F.B.I. work, 
guns and gun safety, and skin diving; field 
trips; and many other interesting pro- 
grams. The Hi-Y has also worked closely 
with the local “Y” office in helping to pro- 
mote “Y” activities in Hobart. 




“Next week we must get organized,” says David Taylor, president, to his other 
officers of the Hi-Y Club. From left to right, are; Bob Granzow, Larry Fasel.

The Debuteen executive council has taken time out from their many activities to pose for a picture. From left to right, they are: 
Sharon Anderson, Margaret Banaski, Ruth Marconi, Linda Mills, Maureen Holland and Kathy Miko. 



Debs’ initiation, carnation day, the bundle 
drive potluck supper, the powder puff football 
game against the G.A.A.’ers, and the Debs’ 
convo were only a few of the numerous Debu- 
teen activities. 

Highlighting the year was the annual Debs’ 
semi-formal. This year the club held the dance 
in February in the cafetorium and featured 
Johnny Baker’s band. 

Under Kathy Miko’s supervision. Buzz books 
were again published containing the names, ad- 
dresses, class standing, and telephone numbers 
of the students. 

Fifty girls gave up their free time to sell 
Peanuts for Polio in which $296 was collected. 

A junior high club. Sub Debs, affiliated with 
the high school girls was started this year. 
Ninety girls were initiated in the fall. 

Six-Six was the score of the powder puff foot- 
ball game held during the halftime of one of the 
season’s games. Ending the year the Debs spon- 
sored an annual banquet honoring seniors and 
in May induction of the new officers was held.

A group of G.A.A.’ers are displaying their art of tumbling. 




These eager feminine creatures look as if they are capable 
of jumping right off the page. Mr. Deal may not be 
signing them up for next season but they played an 
enthusiastic game. Final score was 6-6. Coaches for the 
game were Miss Eleanore Reisinger and Miss Mary 
Steinkamp. 





Dona Davis looks for a teammate to release the ball to, while being

Getting the girls in shape for the powder puff football game put 
on by the G.A.A. and Debuteens are Delphine King and Adrienne 
Immel. The girls pulled this publicity stunt before the beginning 
of the game. 




In a few moments there would have been no picture as 35 eager 
students and teachers devoured the cake following the In and Out 
game. The four team captains are, from left to right: Marian 
Jackson, junior; Cassandra Zulick, sophomore; Miss Eleanore 
Reisinger, and Linda Mills, senior.

Invades Ho-Hi Cafetorium at G.A.A. Semi 



G.A.A. began activities this year with mini- 
ature golf followed by six weeks of volleyball 
and deck tennis. At Christmas the group caroled 
at many homes in Hobart. In January the G.A.A. 
girls spent a swim night in Valpariso. 

Basketball began in February for the G.A.A. 
and was a six-week-project. The group spon- 
sored the In-and-Out game held Wednesday, 
March second. Seniors played the teachers 
while the juniors contested the sophomores. 

The G.A.A. convocation took place March 
second with the entire club participating. The 
history of basketball was enacted and In-and- 
Out team introductions were made. The girls 
were attired in long, old fashioned skirts and 
bloomers but later on donned the up-to-date 
playing outfits of shorts and blouses. 

As the year progressed the girls tried their 
hand at baseball and track. The G.A.A. track 
meet was held in the spring. The year was 
closed with the G.A.A. banquet. 



“Oops,” Jan Chirila loses the ball on a try for the basket at the In-and-Out 
game. As luck would have it Linda Howell was right there to receive it 
for her team.

Spanish Classes Unite in Numerous Club Activities 




In an effort to teach Mexican life to the Spanish 
classes, club officers purchased items of culture 
to be displayed. Included in the group, from 
left to right, are: Carole Vygrala, Bob Graham, 
Bill Lister, Sue Findley, Joe Wojihoski, Cassan- 
dra Zulick and Barbara Davis. 



Cars were washed to the tune of S88 by Spanish Club members 
during their money raising project. These boys hover closely 
around a Buick and do a thorough clean-up job. 




Three skits provided entertainment at the Spanish Club 
dinner. In addition Cassandra Zulick danced to the tunes 
of Joe Wojihoski. 




Since there are two second year Spanish c' asses this 
year instead of one, Spanish Club membership was han- 
dled differently than previously. Two representatives 
from the four classes were chosen, and they meet one 
Friday a month, with Mr. Robert Neff acting as club 
sponsor, to lay the foundation for the club’s activities. 
From the eight representatives, Bill Lister, Bob Graham. 
Cassandra Zulick, and Barb Davis were elected officers. 

The club’s activities included such endeavors as a 
Christmas party, the annual Spanish dinner, and a picnic 
in the spring. 

Money raising projects this year included a bargain 
car wash in October. In addition, the club operated the 
snack bar. With the money the club has bought work- 
books for all the Spanish classes, records, playing and 
vocabulary cards, miniature flags of the South American 
countries and a plaque with the Pledge of Allegiance 
in Spanish.

Feast of the Saturnalia Tops Latin Club Year 



The officers with the aid of the third year Latin 
students are busily working on plans for the Satur- 
nalia. Gregory Garmong, president, is directing the 
activities while Alston Lundgren, treasurer, consults 
a Latin book. Jon Howard, Linda Prusiecki, Melissa 
DeLeurere and George Smith, vice president, are think- 
ing up and writing down ideas. As a result of their 
consultation the Saturnalia was a success. Dick 
Greischer, secretary, is not shown. 



One of the main attractions of the Saturnalia was 
the wrestling match between Chuck Diamond (left) 
and Dennis Knight. 




Latin, the language of the ancient Romans, is the 
father of the romance languages, and its study is 
promoted by the Latin Club. 

Affiliated with the Junior Classical League, the 
Hobart Latin Club meets every other Thursday of 
the month. Its purpose is to further students’ in- 
terest in Roman life and customs. 

Annually the club gives a banquet preceding 
Christmas. This year’s Saturnalia held in honor of 
the god, Saturn, consisted of a potluck dinner pro- 
vided by the students and the traditional singing 
of carols in Latin. Each member wore either a 
stola or toga. Melissa DeLeurere, a third year stu- 
dent was crowned Miss Saturnalia of 1959, and Chuck 
Diamond a sophomore, Mr. Saturnalia. 

A wrestling match between Chuck Diamond and 
Dennis Knight added to the evening’s entertainment. 

In the spring, delegates were sent to the state 
convention held at Terre Haute, Indiana. 




Judy Anderson is serving punch to two students who attended the 
Saturnalia, which was held in the cafetorium December 16. Howard 
Hershey and Melissa DeLeurere thirstily accept.

New Offspring Celebrates German Christmas 



Jim Snodgrass seems doubt- 
ful while Charles Kelly is 
hopeful, about the outcome 
of one of the many poker 
hands at the club sponsored 
Christmas party which ob- 
viously was a success even if 
everyone didn’t go home a 
winner. 




Diane Pflughoeft explains the festive costumes of Germany to, 
left to right: Ruth Marconi, Susan Janson, and Charles Kelly. 
Susan, however, has her attention focused on one of Germany’s 
modern cities. 




The German Club this year is an offspring of the newly 
created German class and is being conducted under the 
direction of Mrs. Astrid Cicak. In December the group 
celebrated Christmas by having a German style Christmas 
party at the home of Diane Pflughoeft, senior. 

As springtime activities the club spent an evening at 
San Remo restaurant and also took a field trip to two 
university extensions in the area to visit their German 
departments in action. 

The group also entertained two young couples who re- 
cently moved into the area from Germany. 



All the games played were 
not as noisy as poker, as 
this picture shows. Kurt 
Kannowski is suspiciously 
eyeing John Cicak’s next 
move.

Bow In - Bow Out — It’s Play 

These Masque and Gavel officers are waiting to be inspired, as 
their job is to pick the right script for their second production. 

Their first presentation was, “Our Town.” Officers, from lift to 
right, include: Fran Cheverton, treasurer; Mary Kay Berg, secre- 
tary; Linda Howell, president; Beth Kursch, historian, and Gary 
Walker, vice president. 



Time in Hobart 




To promote interest in the dramatic ac- 
tivities of the school is the purpose of the 
Masque and Gavel Club. It also gives its 
members practical experience in play pro- 
duction and stimulates interest in the the- 
ater, speech, dramatic writing, dramatic 
literature, music, and dance. 

The membership is open to any student 
with average scholastic standing who is in- 
terested in the speech arts. 

A Masque and Gavel Club member’s many 
duties include working on plays, speech 
contests, production work on plays, and 
acting. 

The National Honorary Thespians is an 
honorary organization devoted to the ad- 
vancement of dramatic arts in the high 
school. 

A point system is used to determine the 
membership. At present there are eleven 
members.

Diane Pflughoeft, Carole Vygrala, Deane Cook 
and Linda Prusiecki discussed “Standard Pro- 
cedure for Membership” during the Future 
Teachers of America convention. Six separate 
discussion groups were held consecutively by 
members from visiting schools. Hobart played host 
to thirty schools during the October meeting. 




F.T.A. Wins Teachers’ Hearts During A.E. Week 



Deane Cook, secretary, is discussing the F.T.A. scholarship 
program with the other officers, Diane Pflughoeft, treasurer; 
Chuck Schmelter, vice president; Joyce Tosch, historian; and 
Mary Kay Berg, president. Various clubs in Hobart contribute 
to this scholarship. 




The Future Teachers of America have spent the year mak- 
ing their organization better known. In the school they 
brought the club to the attention of the student body by 
sponsoring American Education Week, with apples for all the 
teachers and a convo to establish better teacher-student 
relations. 

Townspeople were invited to “Back to School Night” by the 
F.T.A. Club and were shown their son or daughter’s class- 
rooms by the members. 

Hobart furthered its fame in the state organization by being 
the host for the northern area convention. For the second 
consecutive time the northern area vice presidency was held 
by a Hobart member and the nomination for next year has 
again been given to a Hobart -member. 

To complete a year of hard work and fun, the members 
spent a week-end at Purdue University. While there, they 
attended the state convention, and visited many of the campus 
sites.

College, Muncie, Indiana. These and other 
F.B.L.A.’ers left at noon on the 25th and 
returned the following day. They are, 
seated: Pat Lucas and Mary Thyen. Stand- 
ing: Eliisa Sihvonen and Helen Everett. 



The Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) is composed of those 
students interested in entering the business field after completing high 
school. 

The FBLA holds its regular meetings the first and third Thursdays of 
each month. Special committee meetings are held occasionally. 

The main event of the year was the FBLA convention at Ball State 
Teachers College, Muncie, Indiana. The members left at noon Friday, March 
25. While at Muncie, the students participated in various contests. Among 
them were speech contests and a spelling bee. The club also sponsored a 
spelling match March 10 at the high school. 

Club officers are: Sue Swim, president; Diane Denton, vice president; Pat 
Lucas, secretary; Judy Hood, treasurer; Sheila Schutz, reporter. 

In the fall 23 new members were inducted. 




Demonstrating various machines used in office work are 
the F.B.L.A. officers: Diane Denton, Sue Swim, Pat Lucas 
and Judy Hood. During F.B.L.A. meetings, the group 
frequently studies the uses of various office equipment. 

Service, Service, Service, Without Any Applause 



The Librarians, a service organization, help Mrs. Bailey 
keep the Library in top notch condition. 

The new members and officers were initiated in the 
fall at the annual initiation party. 

A few of the many activities of the librarians this year 
included working in the snack bar, taking care of the 
showcase just outside the library and working in the 
library to earn points for letters. The club has regular 
clean-up parties during which each member does her share 
in cleaning and repairing library books. This sounds like 
work but it usually turns out to be fun. 

The biggest event of this year was the banquet honor- 
ing the seniors. At this banquet the members were given 
letters for earning a certain amount of points. 



Working in the library is no small task as these club officers 
Betty Bycroft, Ann Dolton, Sharon Anderson and Janice Beveridge 
well know. But it’s fun, they all admit.

Linda Prusiecki stands by a project she created for the Science 
Fair. In order to obtain the specimens Linda searched among 
weeds and in dense areas for unusual bugs which she trapped 



either with the use of a net or by picking it up gently. The 
insects are classified and put in special mounting cases. Linda 
commented that it was more of a hobby than a project. 



Pins - a First for Bi-Phy-Chem Science Club 



The Bi-Phy Chem Science Club has many 
purposes. Among them are: 1) to increase one’s 
knowledge of science, 2) to learn to perfect 
skills in science, 3) to give service in the com- 
munity and nation, 4) to understand the im- 
portance of science in human lives and 5) to 
help carry out the program of Science Clubs of 
America. 

During meetings the Science Club gives 
members an opportunity to discuss all fields of 
science and to develop their particular interests. 
Field trips and movies are planned. To further 
increase their scientific talents, members submit 
projects for science fairs. 

One of the major Hobart entries in this year’s 
fair was Linda Prusiecki’s comprehensive insect 
collection which was displayed in the student 
lounge prior to her entering it in the fair. The 
club hopes that next year enough entries will 
be obtained for a local science fair. 



The officers of the Science Club are examining one of the science depart- 
ments many class size demonstration articles. The item under discussion is a 
radio and the fellow explaining it is John Stofko. From left to right: Chuck 
Heilman, vice president; Pete Winske, secretary; Linda Prusiecki, president; 
and John Stofko, treasurer.

The Audio-Visual Department was first originated in 
1955 by a former Hobart teacher, Mr. Charles Carlock. 
It is one of the many service organizations in our school. 

The director of the organization is selected by the 
principal and he in turn selects three of his fellow stu- 
dents to serve as the directing staff. 

Audio-Visual members run movie projectors in class- 
rooms, operate the public address system for convocations 
or sports events both in the gym and at the football field, 
and make tape recordings of Hobart’s talent in action. 



Handling of projectors, microphones, and tape 
recorders is the responsibility of the Audio- 
Visual officers and members. Here the officers, 
from left to right: Larry Hopkins, Jon Howard, 
George Smith, Dick Briggs, and Terry Storey, 
display one of the projectors. 



Members of the Audio-Visual Club willingly responded to having their 

pictures taken even though a busy schedule of setting up equipment Projects and more projects; this is what the F.H.A. 

consumes much of their time. From left to right, bottom row: Ken officers have to be continually thinking about both 

Enslen, Ed Hinkle. Row 2: Larry Hopkins, Ron Will, Jon Howard, now and for the future. They are, from left to

Future Homemakers of America performed one 
of its many services for the school by serving at 
“Back to School Night.” In co-operation with 
the Future Teachers of America, the members 
provided punch, coffee, and cookies. 

Another project with the organization has been 
the supporting of the F.T.A. scholarship. Also 
the group has helped redecorate the home fur- 
nishings room. Sponsors of the club are Mrs. 
Bryon Reed and Miss Judy Wall.

Art Club 



The Art Club is a relatively new club consisting 
of a small group of students interested in all phases 
of art. When it was first organized, one of the 
projects was to provide posters needed for the various 
school functions. Now the club’s activities have 
broadened to include the making of posters for the 
different organizations. Window trimming for the 
Hobart Merchants during the holidays was another 
project. 

The Art Club as a project collected old and broken 
toys, in connection with the Chamber of Commerce, 
and repaired and painted them for distribution 
among the needy families in Hobart as well as the 
children’s ward of the local hospitals for Christmas. 

Besides giving an art award to a sophomore, a 
junior, and a senior art student this year, a scholar- 
ship was also awarded to a worthy senior student 
who plans to continue his education in the field 
of art. 




Repairing and painting toys for needy children at Christmas was only one 
of the many Art Club activities. Roger Remaley fixes the leg on a rocker 
while Judy Anderson and Lynn Seipel paint trucks. 



“Pottery making is a fascinating hobby” ex- 
plains Jim Taylor to Laurie Miko as he puts 
the finishing touches on one of the many vases 
he has made. Laurie is next in line to use the 
potter’s wheel. 



Need a poster or a play prop? See the Art Club officers from left to 
right: Ron Will, secretary-treasurer; Brian Skogler, vice president; and 
Sally Adams, president. Here they are putting finishing touches on the 
props for “Yohannaire.”

man, during one of the home basketball games while 
Hobart fans tensely follow the game. 




Boosters First Rate 



Booster Club members are the behind the scene workers 
of the Brickie sport teams. 

Club membership is open to enthusiastic Hobart stu- 
dents who are for the team all the way — win or lose. 
Members make pom poms, posters, etc., to add inspiration 
to an assured success for the team. 

This year’s officers include Sandy Lea, president; Marg 
Banaski, vice president; Becky Griffiths, secretary; Joyce 
Tosch, treasurer; Sheryl Nelson and Betsy Murray. 

As in past years the club has had an organized block 
of boosters who sport white gloves and blouses and shirts. 

A newly-organized section of H-Men was formed this 
year including their own cheerleaders. 



“Skit, scat; we’re better than that,” point out the H-men 
as they bellow one of their many original cheers. Bob 
Bergeson and Wally Geib lead this newly organized cheer- 
ing block. 




Are these Hobart students? Yes, but for a time they have stepped 
into the shoes of the Gary Roosevelt cheerleaders. From left to 
right, are: Linda Harrelson, Donna R. Morris, Sandy Lea, and 
Margaret Banaski. 

Becky Griffiths points to the Emerson score on the Ho-Hi score- 
board in which the Brickies defeated the Norsemen 71-63 during 
a home game. From left to right: Marge Banaski, Sheryl Nelson,

Linda Howell, clerk-treasurer, is recording the business of the Student 
Council while Mike Davis, mayor, conducts the meeting. 



Meet the Student Council, your governing body 
this year. Much busy activity takes place with the 
preparing of an agenda before each meeting. First 
activity of the council was the Get Acquainted 
party where all members planned the refreshments 
and programs. 

In October, 10 students took time to attend the 
student council conference at Indiana Central Col- 
lege. Major activity in the fall was the Leadership 
Conference, which was held October 26 and 27. 

At the fourth meeting of the Student Council a 
Sophomore tradition had its origin. The Sopho- 
mores were responsible for ringing the victory bell 
at home games in which Hobart was the victor. 

In November the Optimist Club gave awards to 
Willie Regier and Martha Hartman for their lead- 
ership ability. Martha’s school improvement com- 
mittee held a clean-up week in November. 

Another project was Christmas decorations. The 
Seniors decorated the tree in the lobby; juniors, 
the cafetorium, and the sophomores had charge of 
the offices'and lobby. 

Also during February the Student Council spon- 
sored their first dance class under the direction of 
Jim Darling. 

The talent show, Yohannaire, held March 3 and 
4 was their biggest money making project. The 
proceeds went toward the Student Council scholar- 
ship awarded to a worthy senior. 

March 23 the members sponsored Care day. Two 
basketball games were played; one with the senior 
girls and women teachers and the second with the 
best of the Intramural boys and faculty men. 

Also during February the Student Council spon- 
sored Government day. The seniors took over the 
local government after filling out applications for 
the office of their choice. 

As a final activity of the year the Mayoral and 
Clerk candidates are chosen.

The National Honor Society is based on 
four principles: scholarship, leadership, 

character and service. Members are se- 
lected as to their ability to fulfill these 
principles. To be eligible students must 
rank in the upper one third of the class 
scholastically. From this one-third 15 per- 
cent are chosen and initiated in the spring. 

Some activities of this year’s honor so- 
ciety have been the presentation of a skit 
at a pep session; the Pizza supper given 
for the Hobart honor students on February 
22, the presentation of honor certificate 
awards for the outstanding Sophomore boy 
and girl at the honor convo held in May; 
and the induction of new members held 
April 28. A tea is given for parents and 
new members immediately following ini- 
tiation. 

Officers for this year include Rolf Guen- 
ther, president; Dan Davis, vice president; 
Barbara Hahn, secretary; Nancy Guyton, 
treasurer; and Pat Zickuhr, historian. 
Seventeen members are in the organiza- 
tion. Sponsors are Miss Rebecca Todd, 
Mr. Clifford Fackler and Mr. Floyd Davis.

Mr. Robert Benson 



Just ten years ago with the coming of Mr. Hilmer Jacobson from Merrillville High 
School, the A Cappella Choir was started. Under Mr. Jacobson’s direction, the choir 
participated in four state choral contests, receiving three superior and one excellent 
ratings. Mr. Jacobson continued until 1955 when he left to assume direction of the 
choir at Indiana State Teachers College. Mr. Gene Simons, from Delphi, Indiana, 
succeeded him. In 1956 a student director was added to the choir. 

The first trip was a two-day tour throughout Indiana. The choir has since toured 
four times and has sung before student and adult audiences throughout Indiana. In 
1957 the Madrigal group consisted of twelve of the outstanding members of the 
choir. They performed at many functions where it was impossible to have the whole 
choir. 

In 1959 Mr. Simons left Hobart to further his music education at Florida State and 
Mr. Robert Benson, vocal director at Highland, became the new director. He immedi- 
ately inaugurated many changes among them the substituting of the spring tour for 
the Broadway Musical, “Brigadoon.” 

It has always been one of the aims of the choir to perform the finest in choral 
literature. Among the numbers presented on past programs have been works by 
Palestrina, Victoria, Bach, Handel, Schumann, and Vaughn-Williams. Under Mr. 
Jacobson’s direction, the choir initiated the presentation of Handel’s oratorio “Messiah” 
at the Christmas Concert. 

This became an annual occurrence until this Christmas when Mr. Benson chose to 
substitute Bach’s cantata “For Unto Us A Child Is Born.” 

This year, for the first time, the choir presented the hit Broadway musical, “Briga- 
doon,” by Lerner and Loewe. Three performances were staged during the spring 
semester. 

Also taking place during the spring was a choral festival involving the Hobart 
choir and 5 other area high school choirs, Griffith, Merrillville, Highland, Crown Point, 
and Calumet.

Popular Broadway Musical Finds Its Way 




Ed Trinowski performs the wedding ceremony during a re-enactment 
of a scene from Brigadoon. Beth Gallagher and Daryle Teague 
remain serious throughout the ordeal. 





Mary Ann VanBlaircom and Linda Quinlan were the 
accompanists for Brigadoon. Hours of practice were 
spent at the piano, going over the approximate 14 
numbers that were sung. 




“Heather on the Hill,” a song from Brigadoon is 
being practiced by Mary Ann VanBlaircom while 
Donna Erwin and Ron Sowinski, leads, look on. 



The four main leads for Brigadoon get together and enact 
a typical scene. Elain Carpenter is pursuing Jim Atherton 
while the two lovers Donna Erwin and Ron Sowinski 
interest themselves in each other.

“I prefer this style,” remarks one of the Treble Choir members, as Sharon Camp- 
bell, Judy Freeland and Sandy Smith model various styles of robes, to allow 
the group to see their choices. The girls decided to change the past costume of 
black skirts and blue sweaters to the wearing of robes, which would improve 
the appearance of the choir.

Year of 



First Division Ratings 



in All Contests Entered 



The name of this famous organization, the Hobart High 
School Band, is almost always associated with its founder 
and first director, William D. Revelli. 

Since Mr. Revelli’s departure in 1935, there have been 
five new band directors. Mr. Richard A. Worthington who 
was an alumnae of the Hobart Band, left in 1953. Mr. 
Robert Webb, succeeded Mr. Albert C. Leach in 1955. 

The band has maintained its high standards of achieve- 
ment for over thirty years. At this time the band claims 
the distinction of having the longest consecutive number 
of first places in all contests entered since 1930. During 
that year the Hobart band won its first national cham- 
pionship. This record of wins is believed to be the finest 
record held by any school band organization in the United 
States. 

The primary aim of the band is to build good citizens. 
This type of goal is hard to evaluate in terms of success 
or failure. Band members hold the ideals of musicianship 
and character high and they demonstrate this by being a 
closely-knit group. 

This year the band invited Dr. Revelli to conduct its 
spring concert to celebrate their 30th consecutive year. 

The band is to be commended for its fine past and 
present performances in what has proven to be a totally 
successful venture. 



Mr. Webb will direct the band in the 'same three numbers at 
the state contest that thirty years ago won Hobart its first na- 
tional championship under Dr. William Revelli. These same num- 
bers will again be played at the spring concert. The band now 
boasts eighty members to thirty-seven in 1930. 







“This ole house” doesn’t look bewitched, but many weird ghosts 
appeared at the chimney and then floated in the cool autumn air. 
But don’t be frightened, they were only “Balloon spirits” sent 
up by the band for the Halloween performance. Since this was 
Homecoming, the traditional crown for the queen was formed. 
The candidates were then escorted onto the field and the queen 
announced. 




During a western show which pictured the fight at the OK Cor- 
ral between Wyatt Earp and the Crown Point boys the band 
formed the “famous star” as worn by the old-time marshal. The 
band used a new and unusual step going from formation to 
formation. It is known as the “bow-legged-bend.” 



Band Steps High As It Adds New Attraction 



Danny Davis, our drum major, and his assistant, Mick Pillar, 
led the band in the Double-H which is the traditional formation 
performed at each home game during the half time activities. 
While in this formation, the students join in singing as the band 
plays the “Brickie Fight Song.” 







The Russians hit the moon! Or did they? No man-made rocket 
will ever hit this band-made moon. It was created during the 
Halloween half-time show for the benefit of low-flying witches. 
Another formation performed was a witch’s hat, to which Donna 
Boling did her version of the can-can.

Peg Farrell, Mark Pflughoeft and Gretchen Liechty proudly display their 
newly won medals at state band contest which was held February 20. In 
the background is the bus which took them to Indianapolis for the judging. 

Phone calls, letter writing, arranging for buses and finally April — 
it’s tour time once again for the hand. This year the band spanned 
two states, visited six cities, and played four concerts in four days. 

April 27 was spent in Columbia City and Fort Wayne. The 85 
members then boarded their two chartered buses on April 28 and 
headed for Chelsea, and Jackson, Michigan. The 29th found them in 
Detroit and Greenfield village. 

Greenfield village which is located in Detroit has been entirely re- 
constructed to contain the homes and inventions of various famous 
people. Resembling a museum it was supported by the Ford project 
and contains such oddities as the chair in which Lincoln was shot. 

Soloists on the band tour included Sue Goza, bassoonist; Dave Lewis, 
baritone; and Bob Hodsden, clarinet; and the drum trio consisting of 
Bob' Bone, Donna Allen and Greg Bogan. The cornet trio consisted of 
Harold Eilts, Richard Hammond, and Charles Kelly. They will play 
“The Three Blue Jackets.” 

George Smith commented that the tour was even more fun than last 
year while Peggy Farrell stated that “I had a ball and enjoyed visiting 
the historical sites.” 

Trying to play bellhop boys? Actually Dave Thompson and Bob Bone 
are trying to carry all of the luggage into a Detroit hotel. Dave and 
Bob are members of the band’s equipment crew, which unloads and 
reloads the buses at each stop made. 





Climaxes Tour With Trip to Greenfield Village 




Donna Boling 



With an evil gleam in his eye, Danny Davis, president, seems to be dictating 
a grueling tryout schedule to Donna Allan, secretary. Bob Hodsden, vice 
president,, and Sue Goza, efficiency manager, are voicing a few morbid 
comments! Susan Taylor, treasurer, and Gail Jenkins, sponsor, listen 
intently.

what’s 

their 

future? 



The young people you see in these pictures are all 
on their way to successful careers in one of America's 
basic industries . . . steel. They decided (as we hope 
you will decide) to let Inland Steel Company help 
them plan their future. 

Some are gaining knowledge and experience in spe- 
cial trades to become journeyman machinists, car- 
penters or electricians . . . some are concentrating on 
certain phases of steelmaking by working in the open 
hearth shops, the cold rolling mills or the galvanizing 
lines. Still others are working in laboratories building 



a sound foundation for a future in steel research. 

Inland offers the high school graduate an excellent 
opportunity to further his education. Employees may 
participate in a variety of on-the-job training pro- 
grams, or they can continue their formal education 
by registering for evening courses offered by local 
Purdue and Indiana University Extension Centers. 

Plan now to investigate the unlimited opportunities 
for you in steel . . . with the midwest's own steel 
company . . . INLAND STEEL.

As this book comes to a close so does all the work that the ’59-’60 yearbook staff did. Lots of 
hard work was put into the making of this book and the credit for its production goes to those 
students and adults who spent many late hours on it so that you the students could get your year- 
books on time. 

I should like to thank Mr. Moody and the teachers for their fine co-operation and for bearing 
so patiently with class interruptions. Also I would like to thank the janitorial staff who frequently 
came to our rescue by letting us remain in the building till closing time prior to our three major 
deadlines. 

Special thanks go to Mr. Walter Keller, and Mr. Jim Daniels for their excellent photography work, 
also to Miss Lorraine Quinn, our yearbook advisor, and to Mr. Robert E. Lee, our Taylor company 
representative. A vote of thanks goes to the yearbook staff for the many hours they spent on pro- 
ducing a book of which we hope you are proud. 

I would also like to thank Jane Wesley, George Smith and Ed Hinkle who, though not affiliated 
with the yearbook, have spent hours helping us on those crucial deadlines. Without the self denial 
and self determination of all these people the ’59- ’60 yearbook could not have become a reality.
